Our economies, our food and our environment all depend up on it, yet its quality is declining, and supply is uneven. Water is the focus of the IAEA’s Scientific Forum this year because studying water ...

Until now, atoms have never been imaged interacting freely in space, but a new technique known as non-resolved microscopy has changed that. MIT physicists were able to successfully capture images of ...
